            Aesthetic communism is when you support the actual, real life actions of an actual, real life revolution.

            I think stuff like pit is fine because 1. It's a Nazi and 2. It's not a real person.

            I know a bunch of dead Nazis in a pit that would disagree with that second statement.

            I think barbara-pit is fine because it was a bunch of partisans getting retribution during wartime.

            Sounds very similar to Russia in 1918

            Maybe it’s a response to the 100 years of liberals sobbing their hearts out for a murdering pogroming failson and his murdering pogroming family.

            But no, I just like killing people. That’s it.

            I don’t want to be hostile but I’ve got years of disingenuous libs grinding my patience down

                I guess it’s because that’s usually implied whenever a critique of the Romanov execution.

                And I don’t mean to imply that you’re against the Soviets, I just find calling the execution “aesthetic communism” anathema.

                I think talking about “killing” in a vacuum is meaningless. I’m sure most people would be against it in the abstract, but I think killing monarchs in a revolution is a justifiable action. I don’t feel insulted by anyone saying I support the Romanov execution, because that would be true, but by the implication that I support killing for the sake of it. It’s hard not to read that into the last paragraph of the comment I replied to. I certainly don’t think it takes bad faith to interpret it that way.

                With the whole federation thing, it’s really hard to tell between genuine criticisms and liberals concern trolling. I’m sorry for the initial reaction.

                    I think you might be talking about "nazbols" there? People who hear western propaganda about Stalin being "as bad as Hitler" and decide that makes the USSR totally awesome because of all the oppression, and supporting this false, cartoon villain version of a union of nations.
